【Abstract】As an emerging technology enabling economic, social, and environmental sustainability, blockchain has drawn considerable attention from the academic community in management and economics. It is essential to clarify this field's research status, hotspots, and evolution trends. This study took 642 pieces of literature on blockchain in management and economics from the Web of Science (WoS) as data sources. It combined the bibliometric knowledge mapping visualization and statistical analysis methods to conduct a systematic analysis. It is found that the United States and China are the primary core strengths, and highly influential research organizations and authors have emerged in this field. The research of blockchain in management and economics has the property of being interdisciplinary. Research hotspots are mainly distributed in the combination and application of blockchain technology and emerging technologies and the research on blockchain in supply chain management (SCM), supply chain finance, intellectual property, digital currency, and transaction costs. The evolution trends of research hotspots show a rule of overlapping commonness and individuality. This study systematically revealed the overall research development situation on blockchain in management and economics to provide some reference and inspiration for relevant researchers.
